Not seen Jones and especially Smalling play? They're pretty good at dealing with pace because they have it in abundance themselves.Originally Posted by Charlie the Gooner
What do you make of RVP? Scored yesterday, but against Liverpool Arshy set him up with a good chance and he couldn't finish it. Was pretty anonymous throughout that game as well.No like yesterday when we were 1-0 down
Nothing against RVP, I don't think his head is right at the moment, but he screws up as well. We had that fast break situation for a third goal yesterday and he hit it straight at the keeper. It happens with all strikers.
Yep - Thierry Henry would get a chance once every 3 minutes and put it in the net every time if some of the posters on here are to be believed. The invincibles never put a single foot wrong or conceded a single goal.
ah so take one into consideration and ignore the other.No like yesterday when we were 1-0 down
RVP scuffed his shot a bit and hit it straight at Pepe. If he had put his boot thru the ball he would have scored. Against Pool he was drooping deep to get the ball. Last night he was playing more like a striker. It'll be a similar thing at Utd on Sunday where he will have to looking for the ball as we'll be without Gervinho. Unless Arshavin can pull his head from his rectum and realise hat he is a professional footballer and not a pie eater!
I don't see RVP as an out and out finisher, but his skills bring a lot to the team...it does take him a good 5-6 games to come good though. He can bring players into the game and if we had a goalscorer alongside him it would be a perfect combination.
Walcott on the other hand has pace and that's really all he offers, I don't see any nice skills or clever play, he'll chase a ball and he's decent when running in on goal, but still nothing special.
I'd personally rather have a finisher in the team, someone like Di Natale, players like him are priceless.

Henry was such a great footballer, he had an awesome shot, some nice skills and used his pace so well......there's no comparison, one was a manager's dream the other is a player with pace.
Remember when Henry first signed for us he scored quite a few goals but he also missed a lot of easy chances but he practiced and got better Theo can do the same just needs to be given the chance IMHO..
Not really, overall his finishing when in front of goal isn't the best...it's better when he's running onto goal and has time to pick his spot.
